Thx :) No, just an amateur photographer, but I've been doing the trial & error thing for quite some time, lol. I don't use a box - I don't really like the complete lack of a background that is usually the result of using a box and I use natural (indoor-daylight) lighting. Very rudimentary stuff, I admit...
As I'm always happy to share with anyone that asks, my recipe is
trial & error plus a very sharp macro lens. I'm a Canon man, so in my case, the EF-S 60mm macro was perfect. It has paid for itself many times over, considering the quality of the results. This lens has three benefits; 1:1 macro capability, very sharp fixed (non-zoom) lens and coupled with an
APS-C format body, doubles as a portrait lens too
